Our Wines in the Press 

Jancis Robinson ‘Old-Vine Wines - part 2 South Africa’ article, August 2022

Axle Chenin Blanc, Darling, South Africa 2021 - £19.95

Jancis Robinson (Tamlyn Currin): “Dense, honeyed, philharmonic. The wine is an elliptical spin of golden fruit and silkiness. Flecked and enscripted with the sharp-pen flick of multi-pointed, prickly-precise, scratch-etch notes of anise, black pepper, cinnamon and clove into silky, buttery-textured richness. Sweet, golden intensity of baked pears and quince and saffron-drenched mango play slow swirls of luminous beauty, pressing into the edgy spices, the intentional edge and texture. A wine that feels, vibrato, through every molecule of the body, as much as it is tasted in the mouth. This takes dry Chenin into a new dimension. I find myself tasting this wine with a sense of reverence. Alex Milner pushes the edges of possibility and beauty. He always takes my breath away. Surely this cannot be £20?! VERY VERY GOOD VALUE. Drink now-2030.” 18 points - ‘Old-Vine Wines - part 2 South Africa’ article, August 2022
